Hey, CG. Just wanted to ask if you'd be willing to make a rather offbeat top 10/5. I'm thinking of the top rarest opponents in Chao Karate. Here's why: I was just putting my Chaos Chao Luna through the fights, and noticed the Chao from the Beginner Difficulty, Dinner, appear while standing. Implying that he apparently had a high enough Run Stat to do so. Dinner is already a rare appearance in Beginner, but I think it's more so to see it standing. Get back to me if you get the chance. I'd like to see what would be found by you.
@@ShiningSilvally the chao that you fight against in karate are pre determined and are the same everytime from my understanding. There are some chao that have special animations that were added specifically just for them in karate (I.e. happy in the beginner karate having a cool pre fight dance). I hope this helps
@@Choa Well, I've played in Beginner multiple times, and Dinner is a rarity, and Eggie is very common, who are both the semifinal opponent. Take a bit of time, and go into about 10 battle sets, and maybe you'll see Dinner.
@@Choa Hey, CG. Just wanted to confirm that something from earlier that I said was a mistake. It turns out, Dinner is a much more common occurrence with my new Chaos Chao, Chrome. I've yet to see him stand up, and I've seen Chrome fight Eggie once, but I'm sure that the rarity of these Chao can be ignored. Sorry about that. But, if you don't mind, my Chao Chrome, I was curious if you could obtain it legitimatley in SA2B, because it's called a Rainbow Chao. People have said that it can be done, but I can't find anything on Chao Island. Mind lending me a hand with some info, or maybe a better website? That would be very appreciated.
I have a chaos Chao that I've taken care of since I was literally 12 years old at least. It's been 15 years and Rascal is still my absolute favorite good boy.
I'll keep saying it. Sega has been providing a great disservice to themselves and the gaming community by not focusing on a Chao focused game, or by reintroducing them into the sonic games. Most of this games replayability came from the chao garden. Everyone loves them. They'd be printing money.
@@jeremiahbaugh8195 I mean if they just took every chao garden they've had in a game and remastered it for the switch, (like a way where you can alternate between each version,) and with a few progression tweaks I think that'd do it.
^this. Chao were a lot like pokemon mixed with tomagochi on steroids back in the day. You could take your chao over to your friend's house with Sonic Advance and enter them in the race/karate straight through the link cable. Back during the dreamcast days, you could even hook 2 memory cards up to each other and the chao would interact.
not 3 on some. try 6 !!!! i cant get red, yellow, cyan, pink, black, and brown -_________-....on the xbox version, and i reset my file 10 times and no change :(((
@@gircakes not true. My file on xbox 360 i have every color! Not even every emblem. I have black, yellow, lime green etc. I tried to cloud save it but that was a while ago when i actually had 360. Now i have the one. So basically theyre locked on to my xbox 360's SA2 file
Oh my god the Chao garden was my obsession from like age 10 to age 12. I remember buying sonic games for years just because I was hoping they'd bring the chao garden back. I would pay a stupid amount of money for a chao raising game in current year, and it would be _perfect_ with mobile phone integration!
That's so true! It could be like the tiny chao garden on Sonic Advance, but ya know, with more to do and it would have a cooler interface. The way I picture it in my head seems so awesome. We can only hope it comes true.
At 35, you've cracked open a core memory. This little flashback has me remembering just how wildly obsessed I was with the well-being of my chaos. Ah, those were the days!
Wow I recently got this game on an impulse buy because I remembered the chao garden. Exciting to see there is still a whole community of enjoying this game.
Dude I miss playing the chao stuff in SA2 I just wish we could get a graphically upgraded remake. I remember playing it on GameCube and would spend soooooo much time on my chaos
fyi, Chaos is also a Chao, although one who mutated farther than any other Chao of having advanced possible forms. This can be proven in the Japanese version of Sonic Adventure, and only the Japanese one, as in the first Tikal flashback cutscene, you hear Chaos making Chao noises. I love Chao so much. Chao alone are my reason for rebuying Sonic Adventure 2 on multiple platforms, and always buying the DLC that adds to SA2 the improvements Sonic Adventure 2 Battle brought to the game
God I loved this game so much. Literally the best example of a game that wasn't actually a super amazing and polished game BUT was also undeniably super fun
I had no idea there was still a community of dedicated chao gardeners. I love stuff like this. You guys over here, just enjoying your thing. Heck yeah, man.
My Special Boy is a Grey two-tone Light Chao named Tyke. He's a Chao I've raised for years off and on. He's all S rank and I consider him the Elder of my Gardens no other Chao I have in my garden compares.
whats crazy is each of the 3 types had 5 types, then those 5 types had like 5 types. hero power power, hero power run, hero power fly.... so on so on. it was freakin nuts. neutral run run was sonic, devil run run was shadow. This was the most advanced thing in the game.
im typically against mobile games, but im kinda surprised there hasnt been a mobile chao garden game, in the likes of tamagotchi . im sure thatd be easy money if done right
Great video, but the info about the character chao isn't entirely accurate- there's a Japanese demo disc included with certain Gamecubes in Japan (Nintendo Gamecube 2003 E-Soft Catalog) that allows you to transfer the Tails, Amy, and Knuckles chao to a Japanese copy of SA2B or SADX using a Gameboy Advance as many times as you like! I obtained all these chao legitimately around a year ago by purchasing a Japanese Gamecube, this demo disc, and a Japanese copy of SA2B. So, while these chao are still very rare, there isn't actually a limited quantity of them.
It is good to see that someone else knows the the 2003 e-soft catalog disc. I also got this disc and a Japanese version of SA2B so I could get these chao.
I miss all my special chao from my GameCube. I used to have a transparent chao, the onyx chao, I had all versions of the cahos chao, and I had so many pretty jewl chao too. Ugh good times.
I have everything required to get legitimate knuckles and Amy (and tails) chao if you were ever interested. There is an obscure Japanese e-catalog disc for the GameCube that allows you to send an unlimited amount of these 3 chao to a game boy advance. These can then be transferred to sonic adventure 1 or 2. Unfortunately, this disc is region locked so without home brew or something similar, you can’t do this on an American GameCube. The GBA is not region locked so the temporary tiny chao garden is accessible on any game boy advance. However, it won’t transfer to an American copy of SADX/SA2. So for this reason i also have a Japanese copy of SA2.
I had a Dreamcast and I would very occasionally use the internet service when it was still active - I remember the website had all the jewel chao and then also that Moon Chao - at the time you had to be careful how much data you used at one time so I downloaded just the Moon Chao egg and it was one of my favourite chao on my original SA2 DC save.
I remember getting a legit tails chao chao when I was about 13 (8 years ago) It was one of the best moments of my life. My dad had always been a phantasy star fan so he had the game and I played it a bit when I was younger. I booted it up to find I was actualy on the Faking yellow mission just by chance and I got my self the tails chao :)
I remember as a young lad, begging my mom to buy me the phantasy Star episode 1&2 game just so I could get a Tails chao on my GC. She never did. Then like 5 years later in my late teens she accidentally instead bought me Phantasy Star Universe for the Xbox 360 thinking
It was the same game and I didnt have the heart to correct her as we never had much money (mainly cause she was giving all the child support money to her boyfriend so he could buy stupid shit and booze with it.)
Honestly, my Dark Chaos Chao from 20 years ago is one of my greatest childhood gaming achievements. I still remember crying to my parents and curling up on the couch with them when my very first chao died and wow did it make an impact on me back then.
Such a massive part of my childhood and I’ve been obsessed with videos like that recently definitely getting a Dreamcast soon I miss these days! Always thought character chao were urban legends growing up so cool to see these variations even if they are mods
Grinding all the emblems in SA2B is a core memory. I did them all in DX as well but I really just used it to get the gold and silver chao transferred over to SA2B, and for farming the tiny chao garden.
To be honest, Sega not making a mobile app version of the Chao Garden is so strange. I mean, it seems like the perfect idea to make money. It’s so obvious.
1:00 its cause it encourages trading with other people which you can do, didn't say I liked it either but it terms of a reason that was the dev's reason
I remember playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the gamecube. My brother and I first thought the Chao garden was some boring afterthought, but ended up going online and finding out how to get the rare chao's. Keep in mind this was in 2001-2002. Even 20+ years ago, there was a very active chao garden community online. That's how good this "afterthought" was.
I used to mess around with the Shiny White Chao’s and Normal Chao’s. I once made a Shiny Normal Chao. But I also made that Inivisible Chao. I wish I had this game again 2:59
I was always conflicted about making a Chaos Chao because I didn't like that there are only 3 kinds, but obviously I wanted them to live forever too. Personally my favorite looking chao were the Neutral Swim, Neutral Power, Neutral Fly, Hero Swim, Hero Run, and Dark Swim, so I liked the idea of keeping them that way instead of eventually getting them all to the same form.
Man... I was SO young when I played this, like, literally 7-8 years old. How I had chaos Chao back then is beyond me. Forever my favorite part of Sonic Adventure. I really miss that game to be honest.
I remember as a little girl I would devote all my time to both sonic adventure 1&2 & the game boy version just specifically to raise my chaos & my siblings would get so mad at me like: “you beat all the games already why are you so invested in these chaos!?” 🤣 😂
It hella was! I’m currently doing my research to get us the game 🤣 they don’t have it on the switch yet for now we subscribed to your channel & watching long plays
Wow, tearing up from nostalgia! I tried to get all of the different chao wothout a guide and happy to know that I truly would have been able to get the chaos and angel chao if I kept going! I already had a devil chao but man.... To think if I kept going I would have gotten the other two including S chao.
0:57 It's for trading on the Dreamcast's old internet servers back when they were active. You were supposed to trade the chao colors you couldn't get on your own save. Kind of like what Pokémon does with its version exclusives, like Sableye and Mawile. Still stupid how they didn't fix that for the ports, though, considering you couldn't trade chao after that.
I spoke with a lady at a comic con. She explained to me that they do not know who owns the chao anymore. It was a huge fight on who owned them at the end. This is why we didn't see them after a certain point.
Your videos are high quality and made with love. You're knowledgeable about the subject too...Thanks for making these videos, they bring back a lot of memories.
Thanks for the video! I have played sonic adventure 2 for hundreds of hours and my greatest achievement is my angel chaos bright pink 2 tone chao with all S stats and each stat being 3266 (this being the highest they can get). It took me months to get it there and someday I’ll do more chaos chaos. I wish newer sonic games had chao gardens but being able to play the game cube one for an unlimited amount of time is still fun to this day!
Fun fact my friends and I actually got the Tails chao a bit back since I just so happened to have everything and it's really neat to actually have it in a legit memory card. Didn't even know it was a thing before trying to get it.
Ah, SA2B Chao garden... I remember leaving my gamecube on overnight to get some silver/gold Chao, and as a kid I had no clue how choa garden even worked. Wish they'd re-release the Dreamcast/Gamecube era Sonics, those were the best ones.
There is another one you missed! My favorite: Shiny "normal color" Chao, it's essentially a shiny that takes on normal colors, so if you turn it into an angel it will white and pink, black and red if devil etc, It's hard to remember but to obtain it I think you had to breed the transparent chao with a shiny chao, or a transparent with invisible, can't remember. This was my favorite type since you could appreciate all the original chao designs but shiny.
Ummm it's actually still very possible to get all Legitimate Character Chao Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. It's not widely known throughout the Sonic/Chao community, but you'd have to have a Club Nintendo Original 116 E-Catalog 2003 Blue Demo Disc. A Japanese or region unlocked GameCube/Wii. With a GBA to GC link cable, a copy of Sonic Advance 1 or 2 or a copy of Sonic Party Pinball that comes with Tiny Chao Garden. You can then transfer them to Japanese SA2B or Sonic XD. It's a lot of work, but not impossible. You can find videos of people using the demo disc for proof as well.
So fun fact about getting the Tails Chao on Gamecube. You do not need Sonic Advance or really any game inserted in the gameboy. When you complete the hidden easter egg to get the tails chao on Phantasy star it will open Tiny chao garden on the gameboy as long as you do not turn off the game boy you can play this version of the tiny chao garden and even switch the game over in the game cube. You can also buy jewel eggs from this version of the tiny garden but getting enough rings is painfully tedious.
I remember having 1 of each choas chao years and years ago on gamecube. I did it again on steam a year back took me soooo long because this time I was breeding for S stats. I wish you could get the characters chao legit.
Nice guide, but I wish I had the endurance in my impatient cortex to actually leave the game on for hours just to get a freaking devil chaos chao. I'm not a fan of grindy offspring raising games (Harvest Moon, Animal crossing flower hybrid breeding/relationship building etc.) to begin with, and I hate the fact that in order to get all the game gear games/Metal Sonic in SADX and Green Hill in SA2, you have to get Chao's to win all of the minigames which is required for 100% emblems which isn't easy to do for the reasons I mentioned earlier
when i was a kid playing the gamecube version, i had pretty much all of these chaos. Im so certain i had an amy and knuckles chao without any event codes or anything. i remember only seeing tails chaos in like youtube videos in 2006 lol
I put a lot of effort in this one Chao I named "Noodlez" I was trying to make it an Angel Chao. Noodlez won every single Chao Karate round and every race no problem after so much time put into him. Sonic was the main character I used, and he was ready to be "reborn" into an Angel Chao from playing level after level to collect the rare animals. I remember the next morning my GF FORMATTED THE MEMORY CARD and completely wiped Noodlez from existence. She was prompted from the GameCube Animal Crossing to format the card for some reason. I still have the copy of the game, I just gottta get a GameCube again.
I remember like 10 years ago i had an urge to get back into chao, i had a few of the ones on this list, onyx, transparent, jewel chaos etc. i remember i found out about the chao island website that listed all the rare and bugged chaos and actually bought the game that had tiny chao garden(already had the cable to connect it to my gamecube). Chao raising was so fun, i cant believe theres been almost no word on it ever coming back. I still have the memory card with all my rare chao, but im a bit scared the internal battery may had died and wiped that memory card
Im pretty sure you don't need a copy of sonic advance to obtain the tails chao, when i done it, i just needed to turn my GBA on with no cartridge inside and connect it to the GC, it downloads the chao garden from PSO and puts it on the blank GBA
I remember spending years just trying to learn the mechanics of the chao garden and I still don't fully understand it. And I cannot count the hours I've been in there either. I also didn't realize only so few people even complete SA2 to get all of the emblems. Something I tend to do every time I've had to start over the game. Seeing that shiny black chao being on the list of rare was interesting because of that. And on top of that, I did plenty of breeding so I do know how that works slightly. But none the less this even for as late as it got to me was interesting. S chao's being something I like to go for over time. Although with the mods, I had to use those to get certain chao these days, and it's also hard for me to ever just let go of any at all after completing their stats. An all S chao can also potentially gain 31 points per stat but usually gets around 3096 as a maximum. However that is unlikely to happen. 3375 being total max after reincarnating twice as well. Making that probably the most rare with that sorta thinking. But that's also according to the chart and tables that it's possible. I've never seen this in all my chao lives that I've seen. But who knows?

Hey, CG. Just wanted to ask if you'd be willing to make a rather offbeat top 10/5. I'm thinking of the top rarest opponents in Chao Karate. Here's why: I was just putting my Chaos Chao Luna through the fights, and noticed the Chao from the Beginner Difficulty, Dinner, appear while standing. Implying that he apparently had a high enough Run Stat to do so. Dinner is already a rare appearance in Beginner, but I think it's more so to see it standing. Get back to me if you get the chance. I'd like to see what would be found by you.
@@ShiningSilvally the chao that you fight against in karate are pre determined and are the same everytime from my understanding.

@@ShiningSilvally Chao Island is the best resource for chao. If the Rainbow Chao isn't there, I'm not sure it could be obtained without cheats.
Wish theyd make a Chao Garden game, just fully focused on growing and raising Chao with different styles
Honestly I was in their for hours in the garden dude.
I typically don't give phone games a second thought but even if it was a phone game I would totally play it. Like, I feel like it just makes sense.
yes, YES, A thousand times yes!
@@RatBürgerSk8 I agree
Seen this vid and checked switch store before even watching , all i remember is I had a dragon chao that was crazy in the dojo lol
They need to bring this back. This ALWAYS slapped. Best part of the game. I stayed in this place forever

I once spent months breeding an all S Chaos chao. It was a monster
The amount of work I spent building all S chaos and in the chao garden itself on SA2B was absolutely insane.
Me and my best friend did this, i have him still.
I wanna stream this so badly I have the game I’m starting from scratch though lol.
Me too, but i was dissatisfied with its bright shiney green colour..
I remember me and my sister as kids would ignore the story and just spend all of our time babysitting these things. They were so adorable.
Wow I recently got this game on an impulse buy because I remembered the chao garden. Exciting to see there is still a whole community of enjoying this game.
Yeah the community is surprisingly still active after 20 years. Thanks for checking out my channel :)
Still playing it 6 months later?
a channel focused on Chao gameplay? this is exactly what my life needs right now
Exactly, I subbed
I had a black Chao that looked like shadow except he had green through his hair. He was a fast little one.😆 Making me miss this game so bad man.
That's a stage 1 speed dark chao
It'll turn red if you age the chao a few years and feed it green chaos drives for the run type

@@NoName-uu3yh the chao garden was soo much fun as a kid! I hope she is interested in it too!
It hella was! I’m currently doing my research to get us the game 🤣 they don’t have it on the switch yet for now we subscribed to your channel & watching long plays
@@NoName-uu3yh Thanks for watching
3ugenics has never been so fun!
(Don't ask what happens the failed chaosperiments)
Wow, tearing up from nostalgia! I tried to get all of the different chao wothout a guide and happy to know that I truly would have been able to get the chaos and angel chao if I kept going! I already had a devil chao but man.... To think if I kept going I would have gotten the other two including S chao.
0:57 It's for trading on the Dreamcast's old internet servers back when they were active. You were supposed to trade the chao colors you couldn't get on your own save. Kind of like what Pokémon does with its version exclusives, like Sableye and Mawile.
Still stupid how they didn't fix that for the ports, though, considering you couldn't trade chao after that.
I spoke with a lady at a comic con. She explained to me that they do not know who owns the chao anymore. It was a huge fight on who owned them at the end. This is why we didn't see them after a certain point.
Now imagine the guy who has a shiny black all-S chaos chao. That would be the ultimate flex.
Your videos are high quality and made with love. You're knowledgeable about the subject too...Thanks for making these videos, they bring back a lot of memories.
Thanks for the kind words! I'll be streaming in less than an hour if you want to come hangout and raise some chao
Thanks for the video! I have played sonic adventure 2 for hundreds of hours and my greatest achievement is my angel chaos bright pink 2 tone chao with all S stats and each stat being 3266 (this being the highest they can get). It took me months to get it there and someday I’ll do more chaos chaos.
I wish newer sonic games had chao gardens but being able to play the game cube one for an unlimited amount of time is still fun to this day!
My child brain would never have thought the rabbit hole goes this deep this is actually kind of nuts
The Dreamcast version was so good! Especially with the memory card acting as a tamogotchi type thing , every kid loved that lol
I, too, have not gotten over this game.
Fun fact my friends and I actually got the Tails chao a bit back since I just so happened to have everything and it's really neat to actually have it in a legit memory card. Didn't even know it was a thing before trying to get it.
I love how tails was cheating at the end stopping the other chao from getting the lead in that race.
I wish this energy still existed in pokemon, but everyone hacks there now
honestly, what’s the excitement of getting a rare pokemon and trading with your friends when you can just download it by homebrewing
The gamecube one. Their were tons of Sonic Advance Games and PSO that could get you alot of neat gems.
Man, this is a blast from the past. I spent hundreds of hours trying to get those immortal chaos. I don’t know I ever succeeded.
Chao: good chaos
Chaos: angy chao
Thank you for making this video. Ugh my childhood nostalgia kicked in with this one. I only ever had a dark and angel chaos chao 💜
Ah, SA2B Chao garden... I remember leaving my gamecube on overnight to get some silver/gold Chao, and as a kid I had no clue how choa garden even worked. Wish they'd re-release the Dreamcast/Gamecube era Sonics, those were the best ones.
I remember playing this game when i was like 8, good memories fr
There is another one you missed! My favorite: Shiny "normal color" Chao, it's essentially a shiny that takes on normal colors, so if you turn it into an angel it will white and pink, black and red if devil etc, It's hard to remember but to obtain it I think you had to breed the transparent chao with a shiny chao, or a transparent with invisible, can't remember. This was my favorite type since you could appreciate all the original chao designs but shiny.
I will never understand why Sega never made a game based around raising Chao, it was the most fun thing in Sonic Adventure 2.
Ummm it's actually still very possible to get all Legitimate Character Chao Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. It's not widely known throughout the Sonic/Chao community, but you'd have to have a Club Nintendo Original 116 E-Catalog 2003 Blue Demo Disc. A Japanese or region unlocked GameCube/Wii. With a GBA to GC link cable, a copy of Sonic Advance 1 or 2 or a copy of Sonic Party Pinball that comes with Tiny Chao Garden. You can then transfer them to Japanese SA2B or Sonic XD. It's a lot of work, but not impossible. You can find videos of people using the demo disc for proof as well.
So fun fact about getting the Tails Chao on Gamecube. You do not need Sonic Advance or really any game inserted in the gameboy. When you complete the hidden easter egg to get the tails chao on Phantasy star it will open Tiny chao garden on the gameboy as long as you do not turn off the game boy you can play this version of the tiny chao garden and even switch the game over in the game cube. You can also buy jewel eggs from this version of the tiny garden but getting enough rings is painfully tedious.
Omg my childhood 😢😢😢 😂😂 im so happy and nostalgic right now
They need to make a Chao Garden game.
Holy cow blast from the past. I remember spending so much time playing this game and raising those little guys, I wonder how they’re doing now 🥲
Omg you have an awesome channel, I love your content! chao is my favorite childhood baby
I remember having 1 of each choas chao years and years ago on gamecube. I did it again on steam a year back took me soooo long because this time I was breeding for S stats.
I wish you could get the characters chao legit.
Nice guide, but I wish I had the endurance in my impatient cortex to actually leave the game on for hours just to get a freaking devil chaos chao. I'm not a fan of grindy offspring raising games (Harvest Moon, Animal crossing flower hybrid breeding/relationship building etc.) to begin with, and I hate the fact that in order to get all the game gear games/Metal Sonic in SADX and Green Hill in SA2, you have to get Chao's to win all of the minigames which is required for 100% emblems which isn't easy to do for the reasons I mentioned earlier
I didn't even know there were more than dark and light chao. Neat to know the coolest ones I can't get
when i was a kid playing the gamecube version, i had pretty much all of these chaos. Im so certain i had an amy and knuckles chao without any event codes or anything. i remember only seeing tails chaos in like youtube videos in 2006 lol
I put a lot of effort in this one Chao I named "Noodlez" I was trying to make it an Angel Chao. Noodlez won every single Chao Karate round and every race no problem after so much time put into him. Sonic was the main character I used, and he was ready to be "reborn" into an Angel Chao from playing level after level to collect the rare animals. I remember the next morning my GF FORMATTED THE MEMORY CARD and completely wiped Noodlez from existence. She was prompted from the GameCube Animal Crossing to format the card for some reason. I still have the copy of the game, I just gottta get a GameCube again.
I got a tails chao thanks to you! Didn’t even know you could get it through phantasy star online and I had everything else to get it. He buff
I remember like 10 years ago i had an urge to get back into chao, i had a few of the ones on this list, onyx, transparent, jewel chaos etc. i remember i found out about the chao island website that listed all the rare and bugged chaos and actually bought the game that had tiny chao garden(already had the cable to connect it to my gamecube). Chao raising was so fun, i cant believe theres been almost no word on it ever coming back. I still have the memory card with all my rare chao, but im a bit scared the internal battery may had died and wiped that memory card
i cant believe they never continued with the Chao Garden... like what a geniusly fun idea
this is what makes Pokemon so popular, competitive stats with rare shiny color combinations
awesome vid very insightful
almost 20 years later, i still find myself hooking up my GBA to my gamecube via the adapter cable just to experience this on SA1
I sometimes just sit in the chao garden for hours listening to Sigur Ros or Orbital
Happy to be part of that 1.4% for SA2
i really wanted a chaos chao, i didnt realise you had to leave your console on over night to progress time! my chao never aged LOL
You don't, though. Time passes in the Chao Garden if you're in it. It still does take a long time, though.
4:25 proud to be part of the statistics for both games
Im pretty sure you don't need a copy of sonic advance to obtain the tails chao, when i done it, i just needed to turn my GBA on with no cartridge inside and connect it to the GC, it downloads the chao garden from PSO and puts it on the blank GBA
I remember spending years just trying to learn the mechanics of the chao garden and I still don't fully understand it. And I cannot count the hours I've been in there either. I also didn't realize only so few people even complete SA2 to get all of the emblems. Something I tend to do every time I've had to start over the game. Seeing that shiny black chao being on the list of rare was interesting because of that. And on top of that, I did plenty of breeding so I do know how that works slightly. But none the less this even for as late as it got to me was interesting. S chao's being something I like to go for over time. Although with the mods, I had to use those to get certain chao these days, and it's also hard for me to ever just let go of any at all after completing their stats. An all S chao can also potentially gain 31 points per stat but usually gets around 3096 as a maximum. However that is unlikely to happen. 3375 being total max after reincarnating twice as well. Making that probably the most rare with that sorta thinking. But that's also according to the chart and tables that it's possible. I've never seen this in all my chao lives that I've seen. But who knows?
6:52 wow, dude is like the parent that helps their kid cheat
Man I used to be obsessed with this game when I was a kid
Man I love raising chaos, it's so much fun
I, too, love raising CHAOS!
Those rare form are so cute and beautiful
Capitalizing on the Chaos cuteness and marketability would have been a GOLDMINE
This brought back my GameCube childhood. I only ever obtained 1 chaos Chao.
I am so proud having Shiny Jewel chao for myself. Having just now discover pc sonic, i am working on trying to get all S rank chao for myself.
